It has been suggested to me that looking at a product called Wise
(http://www.glbs.com/) may be worthwhile.  I know nothing about it, and we
would have to convince them to give a free license, but I figure perhaps
their programmers have advanced beyond the "busy-wait 'cause its cool"
stage that installshield is at. 

I support whatever works, and if IS2 is that then I sure won't complain. 
But I'm leery of all IS products based on what I have seen of IS5... 

Anyone have any background in actually using this?  I realize that we have
the stuff required for an IS2 installer that works ok, but I am concerned
about the future.
